I also bend or shape the opposite sideedges so as to form shallow verticnlly-disp0sed walls 0 c, which taperfrom their inner to thei r outer ends as shown, and

' nesting off of the board, only in some in stances render the born-dvery convenient in dipping; up the llour as a scoop, it made of asuitable size for that purpose.
